like... How are tube spammers any different to affiliates with twitter accounts? Both are leeching from the internal and external traffic of eg xhamster and twitter. Aside from a few traffic powerhouses like the tubes, and a handful of tgps and blogs, the rest are leeching in one way or another, be it traffic or authority. So why do some cast their eyes down on 'spammers' as if their work is any less moral/clean/fill in the blank?

For that matter, how are tube 'spammers' any different to paysites who submit to tubes?

What's your take - dirty leeching scum, or a different side of the same coin?
